ALL TOGETHER AGAIN – ONE LAST TIME
How can you resist an evening of food, music and prizes? And that’s just
Project Graduation Party #1!
(At North following the graduation ceremony)
9:30-11:05 pm: PARTY#1 -- Music! Refreshments! Prize Drawings!!
*After you've said your good-byes to friends and relatives following the ceremony, check in to Project Graduation Party #1 in the Mall. (Admittance is through the hallway from the theatre only.)
*THERE WILL BE A SECURITY PROCEDURE. All bags and pockets will be searched upon your arrival (think "airport security"). Absolutely NO opened or unsealed packages or containers will be allowed past security. This includes open candy, gum, cigarettes, etc. NO beverages of any kind, including water -- sealed or unsealed -- will be allowed. (The Project Graduation refreshment committee will have plenty of sodas and water to quench your thirst!) Over-the-counter and prescription medications that you'll need during the night will be held by the nurse who will be traveling with the group. (Exception: inhalers.) Please understand that this procedure is to insure the safety of all involved.
*10:00 PM -- PRIZE DRAWINGS!! You are automatically entered to win one of 20 fantastic prizes!
*11:00PM -- Begin boarding chartered buses bound for Project Graduation Party #2.
What to bring? TRAVEL LIGHT. You may want to include your yearbook. All participants will be provided with a disposable camera so you can leave your own at home if you wish. No money is necessary -- all expenses are paid.
1:00AM -- 5:00 AM: PARTY #2 -- The Main Event! DAVE AND BUSTERS, Philadelphia, PA
*Settle in for a great night -- and on into the early morning -- with hours of fun which include dinner, dancing and games.
*5:00 AM -- Begin Boarding buses for the trip back home.
*6:30 AM (approx.) -- Arrive back at North. There will be no overnight parking at North. You must arrange a ride since you will be exhausted.
[Note to parents/guardians: Project Graduations throughout the country have proven to be highly effective in preventing needless drug- and alcohol-related incidents on this special night, when emotions and excitement run high: they are the antidote to the "good old days" when graduation night partying too often had tragic consequences. That's why our goal is 100% student participation. Please encourage your seniors to take part.
Both North and the Majesty facilities will be devoted to NHHS Project Graduation exclusively for the duration of the event. No student may leave unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. This is a drug- and alcohol-free event with a zero tolerance policy: any offenders will be immediately turned over to the custody of a parent or guardian. No excuses and no refunds.]
